The Prohibition Amendment.

GALVESTON, Texas, April %, 1887.
Editor SAN ANTONIO LIGHT:
| have long entertained the opinion
that the people, the voters OF Texas, had
the constitutional and unalienable right
to change their constitution in the
mode prescribed in the instrument it.
self, not only on the prohibition ques-
ton, but on all questions, provided only
the change did not conflict with the
constitution Of the United States. L
have long condemned the refusal of our
legislature to submit the question Of
prohibition TO the people, in order that
steps might be taken to change the con-
stitution in reference to that subject.
But | consider the shape in which it
has been at last cone, will
insure Its defeat. and | do not hesitate
to express my belief that of many who
voted for the submission of the question,
that was their intention. | do not be-
lieve the people are ready for an imme-
date change on the subject, and GER
tainly not for one so radical as that pro-
posed in the amendment submitted to
their votes. | should have voted to have
the constitution so amended, that the
Legislature could at any time pass pro-
hibition law without any constitutional
impediments or distractions. But as to
voting for an immediate compulsory,
and so radical and sweeping a clause
as the one proposed, | am sorry to say
that am unable, with the lights before
me, to 90 to that extent at the present
time. In conclusion add by way of q
balm to seek the feelings of some OF my
good friends, the following verses on the
subject. which / hope they will receive
as an offering for my departure from the
present prohibition fold, as now consti-
tuted. | would beg to add that my old
friend, Thomas Jefferson, is not in any
way responsible for the contents of this
letter. Yours, etc., A. Il. MONROE,

1t seems to me, as nothing strange,
When some plain facts, see,
To hear such cutlery land, for change,
From some, who would be free.
For had NO prohibition been,
Ingrafted in our laws,
This struggle, who would not have seen,
For there had been no cause.
But If our statesmen all were wise,
And truly cav the END,
No such cause would ever rise,
Nor men have laws to mend.
But deviations from the right,
On earth, will never cease,

THE HUNGRY SIX HUNDRED.

Woeful Tennysonian Lyric I'm Con
memoration Of the Boerne Barbecue.
Up the town, up the town,
Up the town onward,
All into Boerne's town,
Marched the six hundred,
Forward to the Barbecue"
They said, 1--WE dine at two"
So into Boerne's town,
Marched the six hundred.
"Charge for the Barbecue"
Aye, that's what we will do,
For cen then none knew,
Some one had blundered.
Gaily DER the road they went,
Hunger its vigor lent,
TO dine was their intent.
So into Boerne's town,
Marched the six hundred.
People to the right Of them,
People to the left Of them,
And people behind them,
Stared and wondered,
What though the band came not,
Aud to receive forgot,
They did not care a iOt.
So into BOerne's town,
Marched the six hundred.
Lord how their faces fell
When some the story tell,
That barbecue's "seil"-
How some then Numbered.
Some went to the hotel,
Paid for taste and smell;
Others on free lunch fell,
While BOerne wondered,
To see the fellows here,
Take sausage bread and beer
These OF six hundred.
Some who had baskets got,
Sought then shady spot,
Made the best OF their sad lot,
And hopes that were sundered.
But things went awful slow,
Rifle drill and minstrel show
Could not assuage their woe,
And worse still 10 know,
Till the train Numbered.
They could rot to Santone go,
All that six hundred.
Yet it is fair to tell,
Rifiemen and favored belle,
Seemed to enjoy 1t well.
So that none wondered.
Buggy rides and te,e-a-tetes,
Soft words and hearts elate,
Made them forget their fate
1t was a gilded bait
But not TO six hundred.
If when the drill was done,
Some TO the ears did run,
And had their quiet fun,
Will il be wondered?
And they will sadly own,
They felt a little lone,
And longed to see SantOne;
All that six hundred.
When will the glory fade
Of that great charge they made
Or barbecue raid,
At which some wondered?
Long will the tale be told
How bellies and beaux were "sO!d,
And Rifles made their gold,
OF the six hundred.
